“Super Rabbit” premiered in theaters nationwide on April 3, 1943. Directed by Chuck Jones with Tedd Pierce, story, and animation by Ken Harris, it was a spoof of the popular “Superman” character and cartoons produced by the rival studio, Paramount. (It had the word ‘firecracker’ in it, so consider this our 4th of July post. ed.)
